Dennis Rodman sentenced to community service for failing to pay child support

Former NBA star and freak-of-another-kind, Dennis Rodman appeared in court Tuesday morning to deal with charges stemming from failure to pay child support.

Rodman was sentenced to 104 hours of community service after being found guilty on four counts of failing to pay child support last year, must also continue to pay child support to his former wife.

An attorney for his ex-wife, Michelle, said Rodman currently pays $4,500 a month in support of the couple’s two children, ages 10 and 11. The couple were married in 2003 and divorced less than a year later.

In March of this year, Rodman’s lawyer claimed that he was “very ill” and unable to keep up with the child support payments because of his alcoholism and bad rep. Since then, Rodman has launched a strippers basketball league and made various appearances (although I’m sure the caliber of the appearance and the $$ for it aren’t what they used to be.)

What’s the over/under that in two years these two will be back in court with Rodman trying to get the amount reduced again?
